A year full of contexts, deliberately selected without symbolic elements, that communicated comprehensibly. Two semesters full of forms and origins, ordering systems, stagings, and the confluence of linear elements. A time in which objects spoke for themselves, based on their quality, level of detail, and sharp execution. Senses and meanings were made tangible, perceptions were guided and focused, and appearances were represented with beauty and design. For nine months, a new form of legibility, communicative performance, and independence was experienced. Cultural techniques of showing and exhibiting were brought to life, and formal and conceptual freedom was exploited. A period full of pushing the capabilities of the supporting materials to the limit by constructing installations and simultaneously consciously applying artistic strategies. A period full of questioning, uplifting, calming,
suppressing, approving, sustainable, or sensually perceptible concepts and measures.
A year full of figures.
